About This Movie

So, 'Pollock' from 2017, huh? It's this slice-of-life drama about a delivery person, Kim Su, who's trying to navigate his new life in Korea. He’s learning the language, which adds this nice layer of authenticity. I mean, the pacing feels realistic, like you're really in his shoes. When he accidentally gets mixed up in a motorcycle accident with a criminal, it’s not just a plot twist, but it kind of fuels his ambition to treat his Korean teacher and classmates—there’s this warmth to it. The performances strike a balance between comedy and seriousness, and the atmosphere really feels like modern Korea. It’s distinctive in its portrayal of everyday struggles and small victories, and I appreciate that.

Realistic portrayal of life in Korea · Themes of personal growth and community · Interesting blend of comedy and drama
